Along the "gunkata" angle. You don't have to put together any contrived style to incorporate firearms into your training. A buddy of mine who teaches an Arnis/Kenpo hybrid had me help him with this video.

The base concept was to show that when turning to face a threat behind me that I always step FORWARD with the weapon side leg before pivoting. This gives me the the advantage of adding distance from the threat while I am moving the weapon away from an attempted grab instead of into one.

This pivot and turn is taken directly from some Kenpo and Filipino Martial Arts instruction that I have taken. I think it’s a good example of how simple concepts from martial arts can be incorporated into “regular” training. You don’t have to be on a quest for a black belt or looking to deploy exotic oriential weapons to take useful techniques and incorporate them into your firearms training.

I think that you are selling yourself short if you do not include firearms into your trainnig. Even if you do not like guns, learn about them. I think the second worst feeling you could have is realizing that you are in a gun fight and do not have a gun. The only thing worse that I can think of right away is having a gun in a gunfight, pulling the trigger and all you get is a "click."

This on the Handicapped Hunt. Iadded to my freezer some Venison . This is another reason to own a firearm. I grew up handling different firearms. My Draughters and Gransons have been traught proper firearms safety. I suggest that a well prepared home have at least a .22 rifle,a shotgun and a hunting rifle. opital would a pistol that everyone in the home can use for defense. Oh, I start all b egineers with the .22 and work to a good hunting caliber that are comfordable shooting. Joe
